I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy i I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to complain. 👇🏻 To quickly become ungrateful and dwell on how “hard” things are rather than finding the beauty in them. To play the victim card when things get tough, and look for sympathy rather than getting on my hands and knees before the Lord. Thank God for the gift of moments like these—giving me a different perspective to see life through the lens of thankfulness. May He continue to reveal the good in all things & all seasons. Tell me what you are thankful for today! 🧡
We successfully survived another girls-only weeken We successfully survived another girls-only weekend while daddy went on a hiking trip & I felt a whole range of emotions from struggle bus to super-mom 🤎👏🏻 I remember when we were trying to get pregnant again, all I heard from other mommas was how difficult it was to juggle two kids. So let me tell you: it’s not awful. Yes, there are hard days, but the good outweighs the bad tenfold. Even through the challenges, not a day goes by that I don’t thank the Lord for this sweet, refining, incredible gift of motherhood. ✨ I also wanted to share this quote from @alliebstuckey’s book, You’re Not Enough (And That’s Okay): “When we depend on [Christ] for strength in the midst of weakness, for peace in the midst of anxiety, for help in the midst of desperation, when we aim to mimic his unconditional love and self-sacrifice in all that we do for our families, we can rejoice knowing that our effort and exhaustion is never wasted—it’s being used for God’s glory, for our children’s good, and for our sanctification.” 🧡
6 MONTHS have flown by about as fast as Lainey bug 6 MONTHS have flown by about as fast as Lainey bug scoots her way around a room 🥺 y’all, this girl is LOUD. She’ll let me know when she’s mad & her little squeals have become happy screams 🤣 I shared our day in the life on my stories today AND I posted a 6-month update on my blog!

Does anyone else have a child who has to ask “wh Does anyone else have a child who has to ask “why” after everything you say? And then follow-up with another “why” before you’re even done answering the first one? 🤪 I’ll be honest, some days I get frustrated and tell her she’s maxed out of questions for the day. Other times I get stumped and can’t really think of an answer, like… Why can’t she have candy at 9am? 🍬 Why are clouds in the sky only sometimes? ☁️ Why is it a COWgirl if she’s riding a horse? 🤠 Dolly Jean’s little 3-year-old mind has been teaching me to be more curious & add more childlike wonder to my life. Sometimes it’s good to ask “why” just one more time or try to dig deeper & get to the root of something. I’m thankful for her curious little mind, even if I get frustrated & impatient more often than not. What a refining gift motherhood is. 🖤
Even in the dry seasons, no matter how far you fee Even in the dry seasons, no matter how far you feel from God, he is always near. He is always present. He is always working for our good. We are the apple of his eye. 🍎 “The Lord is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged." — Deutrronomy 31:8

Laughing at mommy when she says you need to sleep Laughing at mommy when she says you need to sleep 😵‍💫😅🤪 I’ve learned that we cannot put our hope in things like nap times or pre-pregnancy jeans. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely a goal-oriented type of girl, but if we’re not careful, these things can become fillers for the true hope and wholeness we have in Jesus. God has called each and every one of us to the same goal of loving our children well, pointing them to Jesus and investing in them daily. And we can take small strides towards these things, even if naps are skipped and jeans won’t fit. We can mother with confidence today, because we have an eternal hope: the return of our King and reunion with Jesus. ❤️
